UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 97-1566
UNITED STATES,
Appellee,
v.
KEVIN PATRICK GILDEA,
Defendant, Appellant.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Richard G. Stearns, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Chief Judge,
Selya and Stahl,
Circuit Judges.
Mark J. Gillis on brief for appellant.
Donald K. Stern, United States Attorney, and James F. Lang,
Assistant U.S. Attorney, on brief for appellee.
December 4, 1997
Per Curiam. Upon careful review of the briefs and
record, we perceive no reason to set aside the revocation of
probation or the sentence imposed. The magistrate judge and
district court adequately explained the rulings, and we add
only these comments:
1. The findings, including the finding that appellant
waived a preliminary hearing and also waived appointed
counsel, are adequately supported by the record.
2. Essentially for the reasons given by the district
court, the FBI's request that the probation officer submit
the petition for revocation at a particular time did not
invalidate the revocation.
3. None of the issues raised in appellant's pro se
supplemental brief present grounds for reversal here. We
decline to consider his challenges to his underlying
conviction and sentence.
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
